She was on her probationary contract last year, looking for a continuous contract this year but was surplused instead.
The other subs at her school are in the same boat in terms of sub calls, very few this year.

Yikes, that's nasty. Usually if you are on a probationary, and you've received a recommendation for a continuous contract, they'll do their best to place you.
To add to the OP's post, If you want to head to BC, although Victoria and Vancouver may seem natural, try rural. For that matter, rural Alberta and Ontario also have a fair number of positions.
I'm not sure of the exact salary of BC teachers, but AB, BC and ON lead the pack, I think.
As for jobs in the CBE, IIRC, they hired extra subs this year to deal with H1N1. There will probably be some hiring this year, but it may not be 600-800 new teachers, like in past years. You've probably already had your CBE interview. You might have gotten an indication from them as to their hiring for next year.
